Job Details
This is an exciting opportunity for an Interim COO to join a PE backed £40million turnover manufacturing business. The business is relatively new but has already achieved some great things, the culture is still being built but as it stands it has a young and enthusiastic, if not slightly inexperienced team.
There is currently an issue of people not knowing what good looks like, there is a lack of data and visibility, so daily surprises in production are currently the norm.
The successful candidate will meet the following criteria:
- Demonstrable track record delivering results as an interim COO
- Equally strong across supply chain, planning and operations
- Ability to create KPI’s to produce data to better manage business challenges
- Experience in both large manufacturing businesses, along with experience driving change successfully in smaller and preferably PE or founder managed businesses
- The ability to pivot from firefighting to installing preventative measures so that the number of “fires” on a daily basis drastically reduce
- Someone who enjoys problem solving and establishing route cause
- Ability to ensure ERP system is used to maximum effectiveness (SAP)
- Strong track record of developing and nurturing young talent

Unfortunately, we are not able to field ad hoc calls or respond to all of those who are not suitable due to the high volumes of interest we receive.
